Anybody use this fuel? How much more power have you seen compared to M-1?

Bob, this might be info you already have, but nobody else stepped up, so,,,,,,,,,,
I have called Vp directly, and they claim 3 to 5 percent power improvement, with about a 4 percent increase in fuel needed. I hope its true, that would be a good improvement! If they sell it in 5 gal cans, you could buy one, jet up or richen 5 percent, and find out for a small investment.

I started running it last year and love it. Picked up a full .1 and 3 to 4 MPH in a 7.60 dragster with B1 heads.
